This game is so fucking runnable. With RE7, I got bored after 2 runs and didn't even bother with the Not a Hero and Joe Baker DLCs. It's not as good as RE3 or the original RE2 but it's definitely on par with RE4.

The challenge was to dump all 4 targets in Colorado into the sludge pit by the barn. So I thought instead of taking out each one and having to stealthily drag their bodies to the pit, or even luring each one to the pit then taking them out, I would just try to kill all the NPCs in the level leaving the four targets, then take them out, then in broad daylight dragging their terrorist asses to the pit because there's no NPCs in my way. Pretty sure I killed everyone possible in the level. It got so bad I had to abandon my spot because I was dropping framerate. I'm also replaying Hollow Knight after the Silksong announcement got me all hyped AND i'm playing Shovel Knight Spectre of Torment after beating the main game. Finally beat the boss run at the end. Spectre of Torment is pretty fun but i'm a little disappointed in the reuse of bosses. They use different moves and abilities but I was wanting to see some new faces on the roster

>>732170I been replaying Hollow Knight. Trying to get all the achievements. I've got 100% completion on Steel soul mode, wasn't actually that hard. But I'm stuck on the last achievement I need, the Pantheon ending. You have to do a boss rush, kill every single boss in the game in a row and then a final super hard boss. There's 43 bosses, each run takes an hour. What the fuck.

>>732249It's kind of slow paced until you start unlocking traversal upgrades, but that only takes like an hour or two. Dunno what you mean by obtuse though, it's a pretty straightforward Metroidvania. The lore is intentionally vague, but like Dark Souls, you can just ignore it.

>>732249It's charming, but I agree, the first hour or so is definitely a slog. I also find it impossible to get back into once I've stopped playing for a long period of time. I need like another hour just to figure out where everything is, but that could be because I'm bad at metroidvanias.

>>732169S stands for Sick! I was playing it last night and was thinking about just how much I'd rather have a RE4 remake with the new engine instead of RE3. As well polished as the RE2make is, I don't think it's overall that great of a game and I can't really put my finger on why exactly. I think it's something about the scale, like the levels are too small for how much game they're trying to jam into them if that makes any sense.

>like the levels are too small for how much game they're trying to jam into them if that makes any sense.

Not really. Capcom completely nailed recursive level design with backtracking that doesn't feel like you're retreading old ground despite going through the same areas multiple times. Like the originals, it's designed to be a relatively short game that takes 2x-3x as long the first few times you play it as you begin to understand the objectives, map routing, and what key items and resources you'll need and in what order you'll need them in. Not only did Capcom recapture this from the original but they also improved and modernized it in a triumphant way. From a pure gameplay and level-design standpoint, this is exactly what an RE2 Remake needed to be.

Got sunless sea very cheap in the sale. I mean zale. Currently trying to decide whether to "win" and retire or to fulfill the merchant's request for a permanent pages boost. I'm only a couple of objectives shy of getting my father's bones now and I've started getting good at making money and blowing up monstrous zee life.

Finally got S+ with Leon. I actually had a very bad time in the sewers with the G-Embryos. Ironically, I coasted past them at first and got all the way to the lab pretty swimmingly but then hesitated when the Lab Lickers popped out a little too long and got proper fucked. Went back to my first save I made when I arrived at the Monitoring Room and got wrecked by bad RNG over and over trying to get out of the Bottom Waterway.

Crazy that my Claire and Leon As are both within 4 seconds of each other though.

Beat Crackdown 3. Had some fun with it, but goddamn what a disappointment after all these years. The main thing that made Crackdown 1 so fun to play was that Pacific City felt like a real, lived-in, if somewhat exaggerated, city, which made it fun to run around blowing shit up and jumping on top of five-story buildings to collect agility orbs. The new city just feels like a giant jungle gym made for the player and isn't believable at all, and the boring, samey, Ubisoft-style objectives scattered around don't help either. The story is just dumb and constantly gets in the way of the gameplay, too.

Wouldn't recommend unless you LOVED Crackdown 1 and just want more of the same.

>>732249It can be boring if you get stuck in some of the first bits. Without the mobility upgrades and with minimal directions and maps, it's pretty easy to get stuck bouncing around optional areas without a clue where to go next. The first time I played it I also put it down after two hours of that. But man am I glad I came back to it.

I think what makes it so enjoyable for me is the combat, never got bored of it. Specifically the Colosseum of fools, it makes you master so many crazy combat moves. Like making the floor lava and having you kill enemies for a bit while always remaining airborne using wall jumps and double jump if you have it.

I wasn't actually sure of what the game was about before i bought it. Didn't really know what i was supposed to do in the game. First time i jammed it in my DS, i ran around the Village for a bit before i gave up on it. Didn't realize the game is meant to be played at your own pace, just keep coming back for it every now and then, at least that what i think it is im still not sure. Even if it wasn't, i kinda enjoy this pace. I have my DS next to my bed all the time so i check on the town before i go to sleep and when i woke up. I thought Animal Crossing was Nintendo's take on the Farming Simulator genre but im just chilling here with my neighbors and try to make the most money out of my Turnips. Its a nice game but it throws me off a bit cause i've been so used to just playing the game from start to finish as quick as i can. I dont think this game has an ending.

Booting up Dark Souls 2 because as of Saturday, it's the return to Drangleic event. Pretty excited to play the game with an active playerbase, every time I've played it in the past it was offline. Think I'm gonna play as a Pyro Ninja this time around, never done that before.

I started Act III about a week ago after finishing Resident Evil 2. I still miss the Mordegon timeline party. For me, personally, the game did a really good job at building a bond with each of the party members during Timeline A. Now I have 100 hours clocked in. Dicking around with a bunch of post game content. There's so much shit to do after Act II.

Pic related: I found this screenshot of someone comparing DQ11 to FFXV. I love it.

Felt the need to boot up this old classic after playing through the REmake almost two dozen times. I still think it holds up to the remake better than the original Resident Evil holds up to the original REmake.

I didn't take many pictures and I don't want to spoil anything, if you liked TSP you'd probably like this, there's open ended puzzles and lots of secrets to find, it's not quite so linear as TSP and there is some gameplay here. I think it works for what it's trying to do / be.

So Skyrim's transitioning into 2019 nicely. I love how modded Classic Edition Skyrim looks like it's a whole generation ahead of Fallout 76. Now I'm just waiting on Carved Brink to finally get released so I can actually start playing the game instead of screwing around with silly animation mods.

>>732697That's such a pedestrian thing to say. It's easy to fix the engine issues with ENBoost's expanded memory management and get around the race conditions by locking the game to a single thread during loading. Any crashes after that are either due to issues in the mod itself like dirty edits, corrupt nifs and missing navmeshes, etc. Anything else is all down to user error by not knowing how to follow instructions, meeting all the prerequisites, and not sorting your load order properly.

>>732720No, I'm saying that despite Todd's best efforts, the modding community, through blood sweat and tears, has overcome all the bullshit Todd Coward left in his broken ass game and made it into something worth playing.

Show some respect you fucking tone-deaf dickweasel. Skyrim was rescued from the hands of an abuser by a loving community.

Pogeymans PlatinumI started playing a few days ago and what do you know Sword and Shield got announced right after that. The real reason I started playing is because I never played beyond gen 3 and plan to start collecting TCG cards again, just casually. I've got a few generations to go but when I do start collecting i'd like to at least recognize the ones I collectI used to have a pretty good collection when I was a young lad, I even had one of them holo charizards that are apparently worth like 300 dollars these days but sold them off after becoming a teen and wanting money for other things I don't have a 3DS but luckily I can play gen 4 and 5 on an emulator for now, sword and shield look great so i'm glad I already have a switch

You know, even going back as far as the Gameboy, WayForward has been dishing out quality licensed games. I’m just sitting here playing Sabrina the Teenage Witch and I’m telling you it’s actually pretty good. Hard to imagine how they kept it up for long, but WayForward is the type of studio that takes that shit seriously. As much as love Shantae, I still prefer games like The Mummy Demastered to their Original work. That game had no right to be as good as it was. Only game by them that I didn’t think was that great was the Adventure Time game on the DS and I guess BloodRayne Betrayal. I guess I ought to get excited for Bloodstained, but I’m not sure how i feel about the way the game looks. Their is just something off about it, like it would hurt my eyes to play the game for a long time or something.

>>732732I have so many conflicting emotions with the new Pokémon Games. For one I’m excited for it, it’s a new game in a new direction, but to walk away from the classic handheld experience and the charming graphics is just a bit too much for me. I don’t think the Switch is a very comfortable “Handheld” to play on, doesn’t feel like it was designed for it so the whole handheld part about it always felt like a gimmick rather than anything. Always hated the Wiiu controller and the switch just feels exactly the same to me. Now I’m not saying the 3DS was perfect, my 3DSXL is actually pretty heavy if you compare to the DSXL, and the graphics are no longer your usual pixelated experience so finally making it official by moving the Pokémon Franchise to the big console line is inevitable but still. I don’t know, it’s hard for me to finally say goodbye to the Nintendo HandHeld devices. I’ve been kinda in Denial ever since the Switch was Released and now that the New Pokémon game was finally announced, it finally dawned on me that it is actually happening. No more Nintendo Handhelds man. That’s kinda messed up.

Yeah I’m also doing a final run through the Pokémon games just to say goodbye. Finished the original Pokémon yellow on the gameboy color and the game is still good fun to this day. You should look into playing the remakes instead of the original, as far as it goes, I think they did a good job with them.

>>732760You think he cares? He feeds off that shit. If everyone would just ignore him he'd probably stop but the problem is he changes IP so frequently it's easy for a four post to slip through the cracks. I swear I've ignored like 10 IPs with Four as the name and still sometimes see one Just the other day I saw him change IPs within the span of like 15 minutes, it's fucking madness I wish the mods would ban him but 1. He's really not doing anything illegal besides being a giant faggot and 2. He'd just switch to a new connection

>>732790Fun fact: I found out I was gay when I was a teenager and noticed that looking at dante's abs in the cover of the game was giving me weird feelings. Why is it that only japanese AAA games have blatant homoeroticism and sexualised male characters?

>>732800I think the japanese culture in general has blatant homoeroticism. Alot of their males are just straight up pretty. But hell, Japan sexualizes everything. They do have alot of traps in anime though for some reason.

Kinda regret getting Dawn of Man, not because it's a bad game (although it sorta lacks variety and big endgame projects), but I always lose interest in these Banished-likes after unlocking most of the buildings. Cool theme, though, and very polished. Maybe I'll give it a while and try one of the harder maps.

>>732851I'm like that too, I mostly only use mods to fix bugs. But the next time I pick up Oblivion I do wanna try out something different, at the very least the one that stops things from leveling with you

I started The WitnessBoy this game is a fucking head scratcher, I feel like i'm using a part of my brain that hasn't been used in years. Whenever I play games I like to put on some background noise like random youtube videos or a show i've seen before but for this I had to turn everything off and focusThe artstyle reminds me a lot of Rime, which I loved. I'm looking forward to playing more tomorrow

idk what the local villagers/scholars were smoking when they wrote this shit but i want some. they're very big on contemplating the abundance of food but nobody can explain this godforsaken mess of text they got in their village library.

>>733012It's been a while, but I think outside of hunting Banished has more depth and variety overall. They aren't entirely the same game, like advancing through the ages is cool and having to defend yourself from raids is a nice touch - even if I wish there was more to it, like being able to launch raids of your own, for example. Or at least more options for controlling your fighters. Anyway I probably wouldn't recommend it in its current state/price, but they said they're planning to expand the late game through free patches, so definitely something to watch if you're into the genre.

Huh. I would have thought S&D would have a ton of players in it, I remember it being a really popular game mode back in the original. Its kind of weird being back in this game. I used to play the original CoD4 on xbox and now that i'm on PS4 the games seem super quiet which is a nice change. Its pretty common for online playstation games though since mics are sold separately and a lot of people dont even botherIts just nice playing a match and not being called a jolly african-american faggot or being told by a 12 year old that I suck and I should kill myself

I really don’t get this game. Am I really supposed to just play this game every day doing the same mundane shit? I’m not even sure why I help the town folks. I kinda gave up anyways and just open the gift they ask me to deliver cause I just can’t be bothered looking for the recipient. Build a clock and a watch but both pretty pointless. I’m actually kinda mad cause I spent all this cash and barely anyone helped me. This game would work out great as mobile game but it’s weak so far.i feel like I’m gonna regret spending 20 on it. Should’ve researched the game beforehand, I just thought hey it’s twenty bucks the game is famous so it must be worth it.

>>733086It’s not strange for a cute game to have deep and thoughtful gameplay and Narrative. You might be surprised but cooking mama is a proper cooking game for children but even someone like me can learn from Mama and I love cooking. I’m pretty good at it too, you have to be if you’re a vegetarian. Mama doesn’t just put you through a recipe, nah she shows you what happens in between. You get to learn which vegetables you need to toss on th pan depending on what you’re cooking and how to make eggs with a white and fluffy feel and taste to it. She really does teach kids how to properly cook.

Legend of Legacy, a game that’s currently kicking my Ass has a kinda of cutesy look to it. This game is freaking Brutal though. Worse part of it, the leveling up is tied to chance, a kind of lottery thing going for it. Playing RPG games for long hours is fine for me cause I know the more time I spend the stronger the party gets. Now my party doesn’t level up, I’m supposed to keep exploring and maybe if I’m lucky a party member will get a new skill. I don’t think they thought this game through to be honest. It’s pretty infuriating. Your playthrough could easily become a a cakewalk or just the most brutal shit you’ll ever play depending on your luck and I tend to be unlucky in games.

Animal crossing though I don’t know. I don’t feel like there is a lot going on for the game and I honestly not willing to keep checking on it from time to time. I guess I’ll check on my town everyday for a week. If things don’t get better I think I’ll just drop it. I got The new Fate Extra game coming out soon, this one has playable Astolfo.

That makes sense considering many of them likely quit eating meat because the factory farming industries in their countries are jacked up, so they'd likely enjoy other people stop eating meat. I mean, it makes sense to me.

>>733114Yea they saw a couple PETA videos, and now everyone who eats meat is a piece of shit. Most have never even been to a farm or a private meat seller. Sure the meats pricey, youre going to be probably be spending twice as much. But it really is better than the meat they sell at Wal-Mart. I live in Colorado and got to a place called Skanga every now and then. If you want to know how their cows are treated all you have to do is drive down the road.

Yes, I have -- three in fact -- because many of my family members are farmers. Small farmers treat their animals like shit too, they don't give a shit. I still have childhood trauma from seeing my uncle stabbing a pig to death; the pig took too long to die and its screams were horrifying to hear, I remember it even shit itelf because of how painful that was. Small farmers are held to little to no scrutiny because people think they're saints for some reason, but they're usually ignorant bible thumping, pieces of shit deprived of empathy. Lets give these people the right to kill as many animals as they want, what could possibly go wrong!

Fucking vegetarians, man, these fucking uppity kids wanting people to stop killing animals left and right and innevitably causing insane amounts of suffering in the process, fucking douchebags.

I want to increase my vegetable intake but I probably won't ever abandon meat. And it's not like I give a shit about animal rights or whatever the fuck, it's because it's legitimately healthier. But being arrogant about being a vegetarian is pretty pathetic and boringnb

>>733115It's because you're still killing the thing. It would be like if someone said they ate dog, and then said no it's okay they don't eat Chinese factory farm dogs only the dogs that get to run in a field for several years before being slaughtered. It's selective morality and j think the cognitive dissonance itself is why those people get so butthurt when someone says they abstain from it entirely, although industrialized flesh factories are their own specific type of horror. Nb for getting wildly off topic.

>>733138Saw something similar growing up in Mexico. They slit a pigs throat while it was hung upside down to drain it faster, the fucker screamed literally bloody murder for a full minute before it died. Those were some damn good tacos that night though. Same thing when my uncle killed a cow one time, him and a couple of his buddies were drunk one night and made a bet my uncle couldn't kill a cow(which was about to be killed anyways) by throwing an axe at his head. My uncle got the cow first try and it was the loudest POP I've ever heard. Again some good ass food to be had afterwards. Im not saying that small time farmers aren't pieces of shit, but they're usually just trying to eat and live just like everyone else. And yea, Skanga meats are owned by bible thumping pieces of shit, but man they sell some good steak.

>>733140This is a terrible opinion that im going to get shitted on for, but cows and dogs are not the same things. Dogs are appreciated more as a pet than as livestock. Although ive met people who were stationed in or around Vietnam because of the military, and they claim dog tastes alot like chicken. Whatevers easier to raise as livestock, thats what the cultures going to eat.

>>733143I agree with you, Yu! we base our cultural pets around how we used them in the past, because dogs were more important as a tool for hunting and foraging in western countries, we consider them more valuable and sacred than typical livestock like cows and pigs (whether this should still remain the case in todays world is a question for another day!) anways I agree and hope you have a good day man.

Great last dungeon and final boss that really throws all the skills you learned over the game back at you. Really loved the story and got attached to a lot of the characters. Spent 90 hours playing and still felt sad that it was over. Can't wait for the epilogue update. Also ROM cameo.

Absolutely amazing. Loved every minute of it. Never have I ever felt a game suck me in that I had to sit next to my charger just to keep playing. A link to the past is my favorite and I still prefer it, but that’s mostly the Nostalgia cause this 3DS remake did everything right. I’ve been playing lots of shitty games lately so this one really hit the spot.

>>732168I guess ill try to get the thread back topic. Ive been playing Vice City on ps4, trying to get all of the packages, but im missing 3 of them. I already went through the all the packages using a guide twice. I really dont feel like going through them again. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Also props to the people out there that got the gta packages without a guide.

It sounds HORRIBLE. And I actually switched to the original, which certainly doesn't sound good, but not HORRIBLE. The original audio is clearly low sample rate low bit depth as they were gonna play this shit on the Saturn at one point and you haven't exactly got CPU cycles coming out of your ears for MPEG decompression. So they shrunk the audio data the only way they could. BUT WHY IN THE FUCK did they do lossy compression on it in its poor format already? It sounds like absolute dogshit. Why not build OPEN SOURCE FLAC support into the fucking thing?

Also, despite being a remaster it looks worse. The Dreamcast version has shadows the PC doesn't. Now the DC version isn't perfect, the shadows in Ryo's hair would overlap and look funky, but it's not nearly as jarring as the blocky shadows that don't include his hair or jacket. Meanwhile, they had the opportunity to replace the jank-ass original motion blur with modern motion blur. But they removed the fog effect and upgraded the water texture ever so slightly so fucking HD Remaster ladies and gentlemen.

And they couldn't even make the controls a LITTLE less shit? Like, make use of the analog stick in any way other than emulating a D-pad? This is the worst goddamn "remaster" I've ever seen. They didn't remaster shit apart from the UI. It's literally just a port, and not even a good one.

There's no excuse for any aspect of the game to look or sound worse 18 years later. Absolutely none.

I had a dream last night that I really wanted to go out and play MTG and work with an urge to buy it. Then I remembered I know one person at most who plays. I'll probably talk to them about it later and not buy for now.

So instead I downloaded arena. Winning with a 10/11 flying cat is quite amusing. I know it's the tutorial but this image of a giant glowing angel winged cat powered by holy pledges wrecking everything is classic.

>>733564I had mostly forgeten the entire game and the first and only other time i played it was with the 40k conversion so I missed a lot by way of just purifying the wasteland via exterminatus. I'm always finding new shit to do and the inbuilt survival through hardcore mode is perfect. This time around I'm paying attention to all the factions at play and so far I'm neutral with a side of helping house and famed with NCR. I learned how to play caravan and beat the crazy old man in novac. took the 800 caps winnings and went to the strip and put 10% on 14, 45% on red and the rest on even. came up 14, now I'm rich as fuck.

>>733704Is that that third person walking sim about a transgender female cancer patient with autism who stares out of windows contemplating suicide while her nude HIV positive lover passes out in the corner? Heard good things.

Have been looking for this a while, played it a bit when I was a teen but totally forgot the name of it.It's kind of silly, both in the characters and graphics, but comfy also. The attention to detail is almost a bit spergy (EVERY single book in every bookshelf has it's own title, everything on screen has some flavour text). Music is super good. Something for when you just want to toke up with a cup of tea and play something quirky and get comfy.
